There are 1254 glyphs contained in this font, including OpenType variants accessible via OpenType applications.

Desktop Licence

This is the most common type of font license, allowing you to install a font on your desktop computer
or laptop for use in all major desktop software pages such as InDesign, Word, Illustrator, and
Photoshop, in both Mac and Windows. You can then use your fonts for making and printing documents, and
also in images that contain the font as a graphic. You need to register the font for every computer
where it will be used, so be sure to purchase the correct number of computer users.

eBook Licence

Our eBook license provides you with the rights for the font to appear in any format that uses embedded
e-text, such as any digital book, magazine, or publication. Our eBook fonts are licensed for the total
number of published titles.

Application Licence

This gives you permission to use a font in iOS, Android, Google, or Windows Phone applications on
hand-held devices. Our application fonts are unlimited, so once you’ve licensed the font you can
install it in as many applications as you like.

Server Licence

This allows fonts to be used in online applications where the user creates personalized products
containing fonts that aren’t licensed to them personally. This includes posters, gift cards,
clothing, mugs, business cards, stickers, wedding invitations, device cases, and other personalised
gifts. This is a one-year license that needs to be renewed, and the cost is based on the number of
servers where the font is installed, hence the name.

Gaming Licence

Our gaming license allows you to install fonts within video games on any platform or device. It also
allows the installation of fonts within gambling devices, portable or kiosk-style, as well as any
online, tablet, or mobile related gaming device. Usage is granted according to the total number of
devices specified on purchase. So… if you’re looking to launch your game on three platforms, for
example PS4, iOS, and Android, then you’ll need three gaming licenses.

Available Buying Options:
Desktop, Extended.

Al Fresco - Regular

About this font

Al Fresco is a breezy, light, yet expressive typeface perfect for packaging products and titling work that call for a youthful, delectable flair. Its elegance carries a subtle earthiness; its beauty is unconventional, both stylish and exuberant. Al Fresco is made even more versatile when titling is activated (in the OpenType palette,) served along with swash forms, contextual alternates, and ornaments to sweeten this tasty typeface.
As with my other type designs, Al Fresco doesn’t live in isolation, but evokes a special ambience, era, or lifestyle—in this case, an enviably carefree, chic, and organically trendsetting life, authentic and true to oneself and simply delicious. Naturally, each designer who uses my work filters it through their unique interpretation, imbuing the fonts with a wonderful array of results such as those found on menus, food packaging, branding for light colognes, or young, hip, clothing boutiques. Al Fresco was born in my imagination as an emblem of dining outside at twilight under twinkling lights, laughing warmly with friends, sipping signature cocktails and eating tapas—each bite dripping with intense flavor. In the workday setting, Al Fresco represents a style that is pretty but not dressy: swishy bright flowery skirts and cute little flats. “Business casual,” not cubicle prisoner. After all, Al Fresco comes from the 18th century Italian “in the fresh air.”
For those who are familiar with my Hummingbird typeface, Al Fresco has a more loose and unrestrained feel. I created it using faster strokes, and was unconcerned with convention. After the complexity of my Charcuteries family of typefaces, I longed for simplicity. I returned to simple tools: little felt brush pens with fixed tips, fun to use for practicing lettering. To loosen up after hours of intense design, I wanted to play with forms and tools that were refreshing and clean. Starting with the word “Irresistible,” I began filling pages with letters and words. While I usually start with lowercase letters, my initial focus with Al Fresco’s shape began with strong uppercase letters that set the tone for what I then realized would be my next typeface. While lowercase letters are used more frequently, making Al Fresco’s uppercase letters the focal point added an opportunity for variety and an unconventionality—it can’t really be attributed to any one style. That, in turn, colored the lowercase letters, allowing some “fresh air” into the design. Each word in a type specimen is distinctly different from the words alongside it. Each is a little bit unexpected.
Al Fresco makes ample use of Open Type features. If you activate titling, the loops have been removed from the lowercase ascenders and descenders, giving the typeface a cleaner aesthetic and more contemporary feel. This feature provides you with fonts that are almost a style within a style. 157 lowercase swash forms, 46 ligatures (most of which are purely decorative rather than functional), and 16 ornaments are the cherry on top—or in the case of Al Fresco, the marinated Spanish olive in your martini.
As often discovered in my work, there are always more treasures in the package. In this case, two additional sets of uppercase letters are included. When contextual alternates are activated, you’ll find that ending strokes have been minimized. (Software often turns these on by default.) This additional feature offers a more natural look, adding a slight randomness or quirkiness—a special touch that reveals the warmth and uniqueness of the human hand and mind.
